A biliant stent was fabricated using a magnesium alloy wire, a biodegradable metal. In order to control the fast decomposition and corrosion of magnesium alloys in vivo, magnesium alloy wires were coated with biodegradable polymers such as polycaprolactone (PCL), poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC), poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA), and poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA). In the case of PPC, which is a surface erosion polymer, there is no crack or peeling compared to other polymers (PCL, PLLA, and PLGA) that exhibit bulk erosion behavior. Also, the effect of biodegradable polymer coating on the axial force, which is the mechanical property of magnesium alloy stents, was investigated. Stents coated with most biodegradable polymers (PCL, PLLA, PLGA) increased axial forces compared to the uncoated stent, reducing the flexibility of the stent. However, the stent coated with PPC showed the axial force similar to uncoated stent, which did not reduce the flexibility. From the above results, PPC is considered to be the most efficient biodegradable polymer.
